Oh, you CANNOT post such a cute graphic without posting a little tutorial!!! (I mean, you CAN, but PLEASE!!!!)

Great ideas, we have some we love too but I’ll definitely be stealing from yours! You definitely need to try one of my favorites — carve a baby pumpkin, rub the inside of the lid with yummy baking spices and light it in your kitchen. Your house will smell A.MA.ZING!!!!

I actually googled pics of chalkboards to see how other folks like them and then I just took a picture of the one that hangs (or used to hang) in our kitchen. Then I just made that the background.

Sounds like a great list, especially the last one!! How do you make your thankful tree? It sounds like a great thing to do and with life being so crazy right now it would be a daily reminder of the many AMAZING things we do have!

do you want to have the nursery done for the arrival or are you not as concerned since the baby might be staying in your room at first? Will you do a baby pool? I’m guessing the 6th…only because it’s my birthday.

I WISH! We both knew that we would have the baby stay with us for at least six months…so we weren’t overly concerned about finishing the nursery before the baby arrived….I thought we would at least START it. DOH! And yes, we are gonna do a baby pool with a pretty cool prize!

Nice! I’ve seen y do this for a couple of seasons and sort of let them slip by. With four sweet boys, I am realizing I need to be intentional. I know my 5yr old will hold me accountable. Going to make one of these tomorrow night! Thanks for the consistent reminder of planning. Looks like a good fall is coming your way!!

I just did our list, too! I kind of hope it stays the same from year to year–more like traditions. I plan on doing a Halloween tree–you know, so the Great Pumpkin can leave presents for all the good little boys and girls…small stuff, like Halloween pencils or other small craft supplies. My mom did this with us growing up and it’s lots of fun. (Okay, we did it for ALL holidays–Cupid can come…The Grand Leprechaun comes…)Sounds like something you’d enjoy, too being the gift-lover!

Corn Dawgs is the one nearest us that has all that…but it’s not in the Atlanta area…it’s in Loganville. And I’ve heard of one in the Gainesville area but I don’t know the name. Sorry I’m not much help!

I created my own list this weekend after remembering yours from last year. In addition to the activities you included, I have added eat sweet potatoes (namely cupcakes) and cranberries (in just about anything), buy a sweater, pick apples, and drink Pumpkin beer/late harvest wine. Enjoy this special season and congrats on your new baby!

Great list! Your list last year inspired me to do them for our family, we started with Summer Fun and I have just compiled our Fall/Winter list, I am not sure why I combined, but we have one heck of a list to complete thats for sure! So far have crossed off ‘cinema date’ my 2.5 yr old LOVED this, and last night we hit up the circus! Only another 40+ things to do!

I was just talking to the hubs about making a list today. Fall is my favorite and I want to make the most of it. We want to take a trip to the mountains (North GA or maybe TN) to see some leaf-changing. Im definitely copying some of your ideas! I want to make an autumn wreath and have a photo shoot too! If you need an awesome place for a fall shoot let me know-I’ve got a place with big old barn, grassy fields, hay bales and a big john deer tractor! HAPPY FALL!

great addition to the “to-do” list! we all can’t wait to virtually meet your new lil main squeeze
Our playgroup is making fall wreaths together…while the kids hopefully play and not insist on “helping” mama. Can’t wait to see what we all come up with- what did we do before Pinterest???
